About the project

To what extent are humans part of nature and how can we help shape a sustainable world? The Alpine Garden in Bad Aussee is considered a jewel of botanical diversity. Especially at a time when landscape and horticultural knowledge are increasingly being lost, its importance as a place of recreation and mediation should be emphasised. In this project, it serves as a basis and place of longing for the scientific and artistic exploration of biodiversity, ecosystems, as well as near-natural future strategies and the relationship of humans to the pre-alpine and alpine landscape.
